Sweet Magnolia's Cafe & Bakery - Gainesville, Georgia

I have fond memories of going to Sweet Magnolia’s Cafe & Bakery. I remember when my dad to take me here for lunch back when they were still on the Washington Street side of the square and order their special of a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato basil soup. I decided to go to their new location within the Main Street market to have lunch with a friend. The atmosphere and service when we walked in was welcoming and kind. I ordered an Asian Turkey club sandwich with potato salad while my friend had a Chicken Salad sandwich with chicken & rice soup. Both of our meals were good and filling. It looks like after all these years, Sweet Magnolia’s is still the go to place in town for some nice sandwiches.

After reading the reviews, I wanted to give Sweet Magnolia a try. Now I realize I am from NY, but ONE slice of Turkey, did they run out? The sandwich and salad were tasty, but $15.00 later I shouldn't feel hungry already!

I was a regular here during grad school. They can get pretty busy during lunch, for good reason! Their food is always fresh and tasty. My go to is the Grilled Shrimp Wrap and Pasta Salad. All of their sandwiches are great too! They’re a great spot for lunch with a good amount of indoor seating and some outdoors for when the weather is nice. You can call ahead to order to go if you want to beat the line before lunch hour!

Tasty, affordable, speedy lunch on the Square. Truly the best chicken salad on the planet. If you're more a salad kind of person, their pecan dressing is sweet and tangy perfection on a Cobb salad. Save room for dessert - great cookies, brownies and giant hello dolly's!

We have been going about once a month for the last several months and the food and service is always great.

Pro tip: Call in your order! It will be ready in 10 minutes and you can walk right up to the counter and grab it, skipping the big line that forms at lunch time!

Food is good.. but not really sure it's worth the price. This was over $10 with tax

In town for a wedding. Wanted somewhere quick and light to grab lunch and Sweet Magnolias is the spot! Staff was helpful and patient when deciding what to order. I decided on the veggie sandwich on sourdough and it was one od the best veggie sandwiches I've had.

I got the mocha coffee smoothie which was the best, tasted very similar to Starbucks without any frills. The avocado salad and 1/2 sandwich were flavorless. Very bland. Sandwich had a piece of avocado and Cucumber, no cheese. The salad came with what tasted like the thousand island dressing. No other special flavors. Not worth the money.

Everything is absolutely delicious! My favorite is the Asian Turkey Sandwich. I also really enjoy their soups. Great lunch spot for food, socializing, and working on the computer. Does get a bit loud when it’s full but if you sit towards the back it gets quieter.
